Do you want to help build software that contributes to new insights into human biology?
Moleculent is now hiring an experienced Software Lead to take ownership of the development of a next-generation product for life science analysis. This includes shaping technical architecture, driving development, and building a high-performing software team.
Moleculent develops advanced technology that enables a deeper understanding of the molecular foundation of human biology. The team behind the company has a strong track record of building successful companies and products within life science and diagnostics.
As Software Lead at Moleculent, you will manage a small team of Software Developers and Test Engineers. You will support and guide the team, contribute to recruitment, and help build a collaborative and high-performing culture.
This role combines technical leadership with people and delivery responsibility. You are expected to stay close enough to the technology to support architectural decisions when needed.
Key responsibilities:
Lead and support an agile team of 5-10 developers and test engineers
Drive architectural decisions and ensure software quality
Plan and execute development work, from backlog to delivery
Collaborate with stakeholders to align priorities and goals
Work closely with users and customers to ensure the product delivers value
You will work in a technically complex environment spanning embedded and system-level software, including instrument control, data processing and user-facing applications. The stack is primarily Python-based in a Linux environment, with elements of asynchronous processing, multithreading and distributed services. The environment also includes modern tooling for containerization, CI/CD and system integration (e.g. Docker, gRPC/REST).
While the role is primarily focused on leadership, a solid technical understanding is important.
Moleculent is a dynamic startup, and you should be comfortable stepping in where needed to support the team.
You have a degree in software engineering, computer science or a related field, and experience leading software teams.
You bring a solid technical background and feel comfortable contributing to architectural discussions and guiding technical decisions, even if you are not coding daily.
Experience working with complex software products, particularly within data processing or distributed systems, is highly valuable. Experience within Life Science is a plus.
Your background likely includes:
Experience as a software developer, working with modern architectures and development practices
Familiarity with embedded or system-level software (e.g. Python, multithreading, hardware-near systems)
Experience leading development teams, ideally with line management responsibility
Experience working with distributed systems or asynchronous processes
WHO YOU ARE
You combine technical understanding with a structured and collaborative way of working. You enjoy supporting others, driving progress, and working towards shared goals.
You are:
A clear communicator
A team player who builds trust
Comfortable taking ownership and making decisions
Motivated by working in a dynamic and evolving environment
Moleculent believes innovative biotechnology has enabled massive leaps forward in understanding the composition of tissues and organs. However, the functional understanding of how cells communicate in their native context has only just begun.
Moleculent develops technology designed to uncover new insights into the cellular level of human biology by mapping communication between cells and generating meaningful data.
